PLAY RETRO 48: Gauntlet I-IV and Legends Dec 22, 2022

Show notes

The original top down 4 player Dungeon Crawl / D&D inspired Arcade hit from Atari that started it all. Choose a class (Warrior, Valkyrie, Elf or Wizard) and fight your way through 100 levels of Ghosts, Demons, Thieves, Sorcerers and other Fantasy Themed baddies and freaking DEATH! Drop a coin for health and watch it slowly tick down or quickly if you take damage. Restore health by picking up food or adding more coins. Don't shoot the food! Collect keys to open gates. Teleport if you dare. Destroy those Monster Generators (pile of bones, etc) or they will never stop spawning. Pick up potions for a stats boost or clear the screen of enemies, based on the class you are playing. Listen to the DM or DIE! Drop in gaming. Come on in friend.

First 4 characters of your name determine your starting stats.
